Julia, Adult Literacy Tutor

Julia's story

Adult Literacy Tutor at Sorell Library, Julia says she’s lucky to be able to help others.

“Being part of the Adult Literacy Tutor Program with Libraries Tasmania has made my move to Tasmania much easier and more pleasant. Through this program I’ve met wonderful and caring people who like me, love to be able to help and improve other people’s life through education. I’m lucky to be able to help migrants like me to learn and navigate through the English language.”

Improving literacy and numeracy at CatholicCare Tasmania

"We've seen huge benefit in CatholicCare. I think any organisation that has the opportunity to work with 26Ten, it's a fantastic opportunity to support their organisation and ultimately the clients that we are all working to support."

Acknowledgement of Country

26Ten recognises the deep histories and cultures of the Aboriginal people of Lutruwita/Tasmania, the land’s first storytellers. We acknowledge Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the traditional and continuing custodians of the land, waters and sky. We pay respect to the Elders, past and present, who hold the memories, traditions, culture and knowledge of Country. We extend our respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whose Countries were never ceded.
